Rating:
Summary: Buy the complete seasons 1 and 2
Review: Buy the complete seasons 1 and 2, don't waste money just in the pilot that is included in the season 1

Rating:
Summary: Great Low-budget movie
Review: I love this movie! I have waited a long time for it to come to DVD. Here it is 2004 - watching a movie made in the 1970's, that takes place in 1873. I just love the philosophy of this film - avoid conflict when possible. This is in stark contrast to every action movie in the last 30 years, where the hero is just looking for an excuse to beat up / kill someone. With the above praise out of the way, the reason I didn't give it a 5 is that the production values are terrible. This was a tv show pilot, not a Hollywood blockbuster. While there is an explosion, that is the only "special effect". Bottom line, Get this movie, just be prepared for a very "low tech" experience.

Review: The only trouble was I couldn't decide whether to buy the low cost pilot or the entire first season. In the end I purchased the low cost pilot because I don't watch much TV and wanted to save money. Either way, you won't go wrong. When I was a teen I thought Cain exhibited the perfect example of the character that should be seen in a religious man. I still agree . . . except . . . perhaps he . . . could . . . talk . a . bit . . . . . quicker? I certainly like Carradine's Cain character better than his Bill.

Review: This is a great movie. But I wouldn't recommend that you purchasee it. Buy the "season one" DVD set. It includes this film and let's face it... The season shows really built on this film. Kung Fu was an awsome series, and more is more in this case.
